Packing it in...


No, not giving up on anything.

Having Steph and Dan here for a short time means we have a bunch of things to see and do.  Today was the "getting it done" kinda day: breakfast at Manuel's, a morning shopping trip to Wally World to get marked down Christmas stuff (it was surprisingly not busy), onto the island for some time at Sea Turtle, Inc (more below), back home to feed Rufus his lunch, shopping around the Lighthouse Square (we all found stuff at Artsea), then back to the island for our lunch at BurgerFi.

I may need a nap.

The Christmas buys...


We have taken Steph to Sea Turtle, Inc.; this was Dan's first time there.  The facility opened their new expanded buildings last February; work continues.  We got there just in time to get front row seats for a turtle rehabilitation program (nicely done).  Then, we continued our tour of the facility.  Dan in an "underwater" bubble...

Steph and Dan (with one of the tanks behind them)...


Joan and Steph by one of the tanks...


The exterior of the tanks have been painted by a local artist - a painting of the center's most famous resident, Allison...


And, the real Allison...


Comparing height between Joan and the different species of turtles...


A stop at the gift shop (of course), and then heading back to the car...


A full day, and we're now ready for "round 3" of the games - there are still prizes to be won!
